info_outlineToday on Scottsdale Vibes, we’re shining a light on women who are making real change in our community. I’m joined by Kira Peters and Holly Amend from The Women’s Collective to talk about their mission to elevate women leaders - and their upcoming Night Run: Sunset 5K for Charity that helps make it all happen.
But First , The Scottsdale housing market is always changing, and no one keeps a closer eye on it than local realtor Shawn Shackelton.
She’s here to share what’s happening in the market right now, which neighborhoods are heating up, and how new developments are impacting property values across Scottsdale.
In 2018, five women came together with a vision: to help more women rise into executive leadership roles. That vision has grown into The Women’s Collective - a dynamic, all-volunteer nonprofit built on connection, mentorship, and empowerment. Through their programs and fundraising, The WC has awarded nearly $100,000 in grants to local organizations that help women advance in leadership and achieve their goals.
And now, they’re inviting the community to lace up their running shoes and join them for The Night Run: Sunset 5K for Charity, happening November 8th along the Arizona Canal in Scottsdale. It’s a family-friendly evening of fitness, fun, and philanthropy - and every step supports The Women’s Collective’s mission to inspire and elevate women leaders right here in our community.
The Night Run: Sunset 5K for Charity is such a fun way for families to get involved and support an important cause.

the run takes place Friday, November 8th, along the Arizona Canal in Scottsdale. Your participation helps fund grants and programs that inspire women leaders right here in Arizona.
